Thanks guys :)
I've written another song now, after yet another disappearance :P
Shine
VS 1
Glorious are your ways,
Neverending are your days,
Father God in heav'n above
Let your light shine with your love.
VS 2
Jesus Christ came to pay
So we might live to see the day
When light from heaven streams down
Lighting up all on the ground.
CHS
Oh Lord (Oh-oh Lo-ord)
Let your light shine (shi-ine)
Brighter than the brightest stars
In heaven above (abo-ove).
VS 3
Your ways aren't simple oh God;
Yet we on earth dare to nod.
Don't try and take apart
God; He's been there from the start.
CHS x2
Oh Lord (Oh-oh Lo-ord)
Let your light shine (shi-ine)
Brighter than the brightest stars
In heaven above (abo-ove).

Ah, I'm back. For now :P Okay, sice occasionally I have free periods and find myself having finished my homework and waiting for class, I've been writing :D
Now I See
Somehow I couldn't believe my eyes,
I didn't believe you would cry;
I thought I knew you somewhat better,
But now I see it was all a lie.
You put on a show
Pretended that you weren't so low
You hid from me the truth and now I see
What I couldn't believe.
You had your head in the sand,
You said 'la la la', I simply don't care.
The rings around me have faded
And now I see.
By Your Grace
Behind your eyes a fire burns
The clockwork of your mind does turn
As you take in what you see,
You wish you could turn and flee.
The tears slip down your pale face,
Your shining eyes are filled with grace
As you take in the despair
Of a life that cannot be fair.
How did this happen and why is it here?
You are sovereign and see all, God
When will this place be restored by Your grace,
I ask you O my God.
A feeling of despair begins
To work within my heart and soul,
Oh take this pain away from me
That I might live and be free.

Okay, I'm having a little trouble deciding upon names. I've started to write a historical romance, and though its not really set in any definitive era, I am using customs (and names) from 15th, 16th and 17th Century. Any suggestions for names, both first and last? At the moment I've got Madeleine and Charles.

Thanks Beth :) I must admit that Winter's my favourite. And I've even memorised it. All I can say is that I had to write a lot of things before I could write any poems half decent, so I'd say just to practice and experiment with different ideas and subject matter.
Here are a couple more poems. Just because they're lying around and I've been composing a bit so that I have one to enter a competition. Haven't got that one yet and it's annoying me.
World of Tears
I found myself cowering in the shadows,
Found myself lying in the darkness
Shrouded in among my fears;
Every second fell watery tears.
I found myself living in a world of pain
Found myself crying out
As I hid from the truth
Slipping by went my youth.
In the light I am found,
Rejoicing at every sound;
The truth is greater than my fears,
Nothing's worth that world of tears.
Cavern of Fear
Temporarily removed. Please PM me if you are interested in reading in the meantime.
Really like the one called "World of Tears" Arwen but I still enjoyed reading the other 2 poems. Good work!
I particularly liked Cavern of Fear. The others were also good, although in several places the rhythm slipped from what I was expecting.
I also really like 'Cavern of fear'. Keep up the good work!
Have you got any more poems Arwen? :D

Today I got a little bit bored and decided to do some more writing. So the song/poem below is today’s result.
Our Hearts
Will you come to the point
Where our hearts are breaking?
Will you come to the place
And see our hearts all aching?
Will you understand
Our hearts are you for taking.
Will you listen and wait
To see our hearts making?
Will you watch and learn,
Know we’re not faking.
Will you share our love,
Stop our hearts from breaking?
Will you come to me
Heal this dreadful aching?
In the night and the day
I can feel myself shaking;
In the dark and the light
I’ll forever be breaking.

Some more poems I've had stored away that need a little airing. Reading them's encouraged me to start up writing poetry again soon too :)
Flames
Shimmer goes the flames now bright,
My heart is filled with the sight.
A hope inside gently stirs,
Now I discard my warm furs.
My hands outstretched towards the fire,
As the tendrils leap up higher,
My heart does soar high above
As the light fills me with love.
Edit: I'm entering one of these poems in a competition, so It's temporarily taken down.

I really like Our Hearts, it kinda reminds me of a lost love kinda thing. It feels so sad, yet so sweet!
I like how you use fire in the other 2 poems, whenever i think of fire, i think of Chaos, but instead you used it for a path to hope and love. I really like that!

I can't believe it's been over nine months since I wrote any poetry. It's been too long, but I've finally done some more. They're a bit rough around the edges, but it felt good to put some words to paper again :)
Life’s Learning
How can you face the music
When you don’t know what you’re facing?
How can you sing the words
To a song you’ve never heard?
How can you dance a waltz,
When you’ve never known the steps?
How can you touch the stars
If you don’t know what you’re dreaming?
All music has some meaning,
But to understand it you must listen.
Listen once, listen twice,
Thrice you know it now.
Pause a little, let the melody
Float about you… relax.
A song begins to stir the air,
Foreign words touch your ears.
You revel in its beauty
And long to sing along.
Wait a while, grasp the words,
Hum along and… sing.
Before you a young man bows,
And offers you his hand.
Gazing into his eyes,
You yearn to take his hand.
Stop stressing, waltz with him,
Let him lead you… dance.
The city smog obscures the sky,
The stars above concealed from view.
Lifting your hand,
You reach for stars.
Take a breath, gaze at the sky,
Find your perspective… dream.
Direction
Life is like a winding road,
Twisting left and right.
Each turn you make
Can change your course,
On this one way only road.
Nice! I like the idea of changing course on a one-way road.
So regarding the songs, where's the link to YouTube?

Thanks N. :)
But there's no youtube link. I've never recorded a song in my life, and have composed only parts of about two. I prefer to write the lyrics instead. Much easier ;D
Wow, those r totally amazing!!! i love the first one, and about how you can dream the stars... so beautiful!!
Also, i agree, much easier to write the lyrics, lol.

Slain
Things didn’t go to plan,
No one was to die.
Yet here I stand weeping,
Despairing at the sky.
I only wished to change my life,
Make it something bright.
So with a little white lie,
Good things were in sight.
So why did you have to speak,
Break my poor heart,
Turn my life upside down,
And tear it all apart.
In that instant you destroyed,
All hopes and dreams of mine.
My heart it withered,
It’s no longer defined.
This broken heart within me,
Causes me such pain.
I feel as if I have died,
All life in me is slain.
Wow, Arwen! I hope this is not written from personal experience :(.

Slain is probably one of the few which hasn't been influenced very much by my personal experiences, other than a broken heart a number of years ago, which has long since healed :) These three are very rough and I have no idea where they came from. I seem to have developed a fascination with writing about roads and the like.
Carry On
You wish to know
If there is any
Way in which
You might unburden me now.
But I do tell you,
There is none.
I shall always
Bear this weight.
It is mine,
And mine allow
To carry through
All my days.
Friend
I would that all my friends
Stand by me like you ‘til the end
Of the journey, great or small,
Walk together, we’ll stand tall.
With you by my side,
I feel like nothing should hide.
I know who you are,
Together we’ll go far.
On the days we are apart,
I can feel you in my heart.
You’re watching over me
While I am watching thee.
Precious is your life,
Remember through all strife,
That I shall be there,
For I will always care.
If you should stumble,
Don’t bother to grumble.
Just lift up your head,
Remember all I have said.
Years upon years have come and gone
And no one is the wiser.
Love upon love has touched my heart,
But never left its mark.
Oh, when will the time come that all,
Shall be true, be firm, be sure?
When will the time come
That I shall stand true and so sure?
Confident in myself and you,
Knowing we’ll be strong.
When, oh when shall that time come to pass?

They're really good Arwen ^^; I especially like Unknown Road, I feel like I can kind of relate to it, I like it :nods:

Rewound
This pounding of my heart
The yearning of my soul
So long ago it did depart,
I thought that I had control
Something inside of me
Awoke once more just now
Muddied my vision, I can't see
What happened to my heart's vow.
Deepest yearning within,
Repressed with great effort
Has resurfaced under my skin
Confusing feelings of love do hurt.
When my heart fractured then
I sought out peace of mind
Now I must search again, friend
I cannot simply just rewind.
Surroundings
Incessant chatter
Noisy words
Merry laughter
Despairing tears.
Burning brightly
High above,
Scorching skin
Searing love.
Deepest water
Darkest depths
Unknown distance,
Death will come
Clearest heavens
Palest blue
Cloudy forecast
From high above.
Grassy pastures,
Softest ground
Lushest foliage
Lost in nature.
Urban setting,
Blackened road
Tree-stumps lining,
The broken world.
